Bottle Tag

by Kris Hankins

I often take a bottle of wine to someone as a thank you gift or hostess gift. I feel like something is missing when I present it to them, so I came up with these hanging bottle tags. They can be customized for birthdays, events/occasions, and for the seasons.

Instructions

Cut a 3” x 8” piece of double-sided cardstock.
I used a “flourish” print from Tim Holtz’s Shabby Vintage paper pad.
(I love these new 36 sheet pads. They have such an assortment of fun papers).

From the back, score the paper at 2 ½” from one end using your ScorIt.

Round the corners of the tag using Zutters Round-It-All.
Punch a 1 ½” hole centered in the top portion of tag.
(After throwing away many cheaper corner rounders, I am so pleased with this rounder!
It is sturdy and cuts through thick media like chipboard and thin metals… not just paper).

Stamp the front corner of the tag with a “text” stamp using Adirondack denim ink.

Over stamp the entire front of the tag with a “flourish” stamp using Brilliance Pearlescent Platinum Planet ink.
This will leave a subtle, shimmering stamped image over the entire front of the tag.
